2 months with Secretlab and I wish I’d trusted my gut earlier

I can recommend you check out Steelcase Leap v2 if you look for office chairs. Got one in my office, and goddamm it's so comfortable. I also have a Blacklyte Athena at home, and had a Razer Iskur v2 X earlier, both felt pretty comfortable to me once you adjust them properly, but ik some people don't

Blacklyte over Secretlab?

I went the blacklyte athena route vs secretlab Here is a quick hit review. The good: - Materials are higher quality than I would have thought. Build quality is nice with not many plastic parts, the castors are nice (esp if you have non-carpeted floors) and it doesnt feel like its gonna break on you

Secretlab vs. Blacklyte - Support / Durability?

I dont have experience with Secretlab, and I've only had my Blacklyte athena pro for like 3 weeks, but I'm enjoying it so far. Came nicely packaged and assembly was easy. Build quality seems good, haven't had an issue. Has a good amount of lumbar support that's adjustable enough to find a comfy spot

I hate lumbar support on most chairs. Do I have a flat back? Any recommendations?

Got a new Blacklyte Athena X. It came with a lumbar pillow, just tossed it aside after only half an hour with the chair. I think I'm in the flat back club as well.

Blacklyte Athena Pro thoughts/suggestions

How's the backrest's lumbar support? another thread mentioned that it is terrible and needed a small cheap cushion... and not worth getting the pro version? https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingchairs/comments/1p02wn6/blacklyte_athena_pro_chair_review/ what's your experience so far?

Whats the best gaming/office chair out there?

for $800 the best cushioning and support you can get in my opinion would be the secret labs titan nanogen (and it’s on sale rn) if your on the budget the blacklyte athena pro or regular version if you don’t care for lumbar for around $300. but do not get the regular titan its seat feels like a brick

Any thoughts on Blacklyte Athena chairs?

I really want people to know what they are getting into buying their products. I tried to give that Athena Pro chair a chance; I really tried big time. But it really wasn’t worth it! My original review was a 2-star one because the seat is incredibly HARD, especially for your back! The backrest is ro

6’6” 250lbs, can’t find a good chair!

The Blacklyte Athena Pro and Secretlab Titan XL are good choices for taller people. lots of them like how they feel, but you should try them out if you can. If you're not sure, look at some office chairs with adjustable seat depth and lumbar support. I heard about ergonomicchairfinder, which might h

Has anyone noticed a weird bump in the upper back of the Blacklyte Athena Pro?

Update for you. After using that backpad for about a week, I think it is a workable solution. However, I got to try the Kraken Pro, and for me, it was a night-and-day difference. The adaptive air lumbar is significantly more comfortable and supportive, and I can tell the chair's construction is diff
